I'm coming out!?

 Since I started this blog years ago, I always hid my identity. Now I think it is time to come out? Well anyway, my name is Chris H. Here are some photos of me. Do you remember me from back in the day? Say hi. Thanks!

2020 update

 I have not worked on this blog in years. I leave it up because it documents history. Some of my comments are outdated and not accurate. I only posted the stories that I was told. That is why I left the comments sections on each bar open so people could chime in with their thoughts/opinions. There still are a lot of bars I could list that I never got around to I know. The Gold Coast is closed, what is left? The gay bar is dead but for a few. I have discovered an alternative to the gay bar, the gay campground. Gay campgrounds are much like the old gay bars, you have a sense of community and you can see your friends every weekend. My favorite is Campit  in Saugatuck, MI. (Actually it is in Fennville)
